The cold never bothered Broadway anyway.
Elsa, Anna, Olaf, and the rest of the “Frozen” gang are now officially slated to join its Disney brethren “Aladdin” and “The Lion King” on the Great White Way per Disney Theatrical Productions.
The musical will play its out-of-town tryout beginning in summer of 2017 at a yet to be determined theater with a Broadway premiere scheduled for spring 2018.
Two-time Tony Award nominee Alex Timbers (“Peter and the Starcatcher”) is directing, while Tony Award winner Peter Darling (“Billy Elliot”) will choreograph.
Additionally, two-time Tony Award winner Stephen Oremus (“The Book of Mormon”) is the music supervisor, and will create vocal and stage arrangements.
“Frozen” features music and lyrics from the Oscar-winning creators of the film score, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Jennifer Lee, the film’s screenwriter and director (with Chris Buck), provides the musical’s book.
“Frozen” grossed more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office in its original theatrical release. The film won two Oscars including Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song (“Let It Go”).
Casting and Broadway dates will be announced at a later time.
